More Blackpool tremors in the run up to Xmas

British Geological Survey has now recorded at least 21 tremors due to shale gas drilling operations in the Blackpool area, during this December alone. 

Safety measures must be halted for 18 hours if a quake of more than magnitude 0.5 is detected, which has happened several times since October. The strongest recorded to date was of a magnitude of 1.5, which was felt in the Fylde region on 11 December.  This occurred at a depth of one kilometre beneath the earth.
